FRMCS Das Future Railway Mobile Communication System (NW1218)
Below you will find the course details. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us: training@tfk-technologies.de.
Duration: 2 days onsite or 3 half days online.
In the years to come, the Future Railway Mobile Communication System will replace the established GSM-R as communication standard for international railway networks. Based on the 5G standard it is being standardized but promises significant higher data rates and allows the realization of new applications.
This course describes the current state of the development, shows the railway-specific requirements and shows which new use cases will become viable. The 5G-standard will be explained as far as needed to understand FRMCS, as well as the Mission Critical Service (MCX) architecture, upon which FRMCS will be based.
Requirements
The participants should already know about GSM-R and should have a technical background.
